TallExhausted? The poor little millionaire professional sportsman.
Should have tried 16 hour shifts down the pit like we did back in the day.
He only runs about for 90 minutes, once a week!!
Totally agree. On top of that they have world class sports science, world class physios after games and world class chefs supplying them with the best food to be at their peak. They said the players won't be tired as this is a mid season world cup but we're already getting the same excuses as all the previous tournaments. Get him on the pitch and get on with it. If they fail it's because they're not good enough.

That's an exaggeration.
He runs for no more than 20-40 minutes.
yeah i don't think they do much else all week. Probably just sit round drinking pints and having smokes waiting for the games.
I don't know what the injury is, but if rest would help then it would make sense not to play Kane v Wales. Rashford and /or Wilson might well be better options.

Modern players vape or huff NOX rather than smoke.
Don't you know nothing?
Absolutely correct. He seemed to play most of the USA game in our half until the last half hour. That was a result of Southgate failing to sort out the keep problem of our midfield being outnumbered and overrun.
vape pre game, smoke after in celebration/commiseration
A 4231 setup doesn't suit his style of play. Mount is in the space he wants to drop into. If we want the best out of Kane then we need to play a 433. It leaves that space for Kane to drop into and the 3 in midfield give the wide players the freedom to provide the threat in behind that Kane won't do.
Southgate is making the same mistake almost every other manager has done, trying to put the best 11 players on the pitch but not thinking about whether they actually work together. Other nations seem to do this better. It's why Spain don't pick players like De Gea or Thiago or why Brazil haven't taken Firmino. Clearly very good players but if they don't fit into the managers system then they don't get picked.
We have taken Mount, Foden and Maddison even though Southgate has shown previously he doesn't really like playing a no.10 and a no.10 doesn't suit playing with Kane either. Some would argue all of these could play wide as well but if Kane is the striker then the wide players need to bring speed and run in behind. None of those 3 are really known for speed or breaking the defensive line.
Play all the fringe players, it’s only Wales.

The choice at half-time must be a bit tricky though?
I'd start him and give him 45-60mins max to make an impression.
I think if we can get 2 goals up, I'd be looking to give Wilson a proper run out.
Big 'if' of course.

I'm pretty sure spurs have played 4231 for large parts of his club career.
I don't think he only picks the best players as he has shown at times with not picking Alexander-Arnold and the length of time it took for grealish to get picked. The dropping of sancho and rashford at times from various squads.
I agree with the need for pacier wingers and on Friday both saka and sterling really struggled. We might be better off going with the 5 at the back and trying to get width that way because the wingers didn't work vs USA.
